Devils Pool, South Africa
From series “Most Scary Swiiming Pools”
Some incredibly scary pools were created by nature itself. A great example is the Devil's Pool. It is located at the top of Victoria Falls. This powerful waterfall is the highest in the world. It is very life-threatening to swim in its pools. More than 15 people have died as a result of such seemingly innocent entertainment in recent years. The height of Victoria Falls is 128 meters. It dumps tons of water into the narrow gorge every second.
The water washed out a fairly large natural pool in front of the abyss, into which the waterfall flows. Travelers from all over the world are eager to swim in it and take memorable photos. Swimming at a distance of less than a meter from the edge of the abyss is great entertainment for everyone who loves the thrill. All that separates in this case from falling into the abyss is a small natural barrier of stone. Its thickness is about 30 centimeters.
